Do you believe in match-making ?

Parents turn up for first matchmaking session at Hong Lim Park

Our PM first talked about this subject in his National Day Rally speech.
 
Recently,  Hong Lim Park was bustling with activity, a seizable number of  eager parents turned up for the matchmaking party hoping to find a partner for their grown-up children.

Why are our parents doing this ?  Today firstly, most adults are studying hard in the unversities trying to earn a degree. Next find a job and started working. Some may even go for further studies, others concentrating  climbing the corporate ladder. Many neglected social gatherings, thereby neglected marriage.  Of course there are many other reasons. What are they ? Why are people not getting married and why are parents worrying ?

I tink lah in my opin nowdays young adult study all the way till uni then end up having diffcult to find partner or
dun want to get married or need parent help are LOSER in their social life. Can study hard until uni but when come to finding
life partner 'weak in the brain' . hehehehe

For a male, even at the age of 40, if he decides to get married and set up a family, he can still do so by finding a suitable girlfriend / mate age below 30. So probably parents with sons may not worry so much.

On the other hand, parents with less education may worry, having a daughter 40 years old and still remaining single.

Some can even look for brides from overseas:
